Wow! God appears to Jacob in a dream. This
encounter allows Jacob to gain a personal knowledge of God and gives us the
famous “Jacobs ladder”.
Notice the condition Jacob places on his
relationship with God. “If God…”, which appears in verse 20, says so much about
the spiritual maturity of Jacob. IF God met these conditions, Jacob would
follow God.
Do you find ourselves in a similar situation?
Is it all about what God can do for you rather than you can do for God or what
God wants from you?
Spend some time pondering your relationship
with God and ask Him to help you search your heart and whether you are seeking
the kind of relationship with God that allows you to increase your spiritual
maturity and walk closer with Him daily.
